Observations: Two views of the Mississippi

This essay provides a magic description about the great river. He recalls a memory about his reflections of a beautiful sunset, the fading sunlight, and the delicate waves of the water. He feels that he had made a valuable acquisition. But, at the same time he had lost the grace, the beauty, and the poetry. He could not longer appreciate the beauty of the river when he becomes a riverboat pilot. After that, he only could see the dangers of the different details. Through this new experience, he learned several signs of the river that would be vital for the safety of his steamboat. I believe that it is a real situation that happens in every situation. People associate magical qualities for the first impression to something unknown. Then, all magic qualities could or could not be true.
